What is welding cable?
A welding cable, sometimes referred to as a grounding cable, is a cable very finely stranded for flexibility.
Most welding cables resist flame, grease, abrasion, tar, and oil and possess good color retention. A welding
cable, however, is typically used because of its flexibility and versatility.
Can I use welding cable in marine applications?
Although welding cable is often used for battery cables in marine applications, the insulation must be oil and
water-resistant. If the cable is not oil and water resistant, it can become saturated.
In what applications can I use welding cable?
Allied Wire's welding cable has a neoprene jacket, making it appropriate for tight battery applications, as well
as a superior battery cable alternative. Welding cables can also be used for secondary voltage resistance welding
leads and in power supply applications not exceeding 600 volts.
Are welding cables safe for everyday use?
Yes! Welding cables are great for a variety of reasons, but safety measures should always be taken when using
them. In order to protect welding cables, keep them clean of grease and oil, and out of damp conditions if
they are not constructed for water. Be sure to look for imperfections in the cable and if you see any worn
spots, wrap the welding cable with rubber, plastic, or friction tape. Replace the cable if damage to the
welding cable is within three feet of the electrode.
